BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates in general to the process for the production of allyl halide amine compounds and poly(allyl halide amine) copolymer and their reaction products by using an oxidized silicon compound as the catalyst to polymerize the allyl halide with amine compounds.

Various silicon acids, silica, silicates containing silicon acids and silicates that will react with the halides in the allyl halides to produce silicon acids may be used as the catalyst. Various silicon acids such as silicoformic acid, polysilicoformic acid, hydrated silica and natural silicates containing free silicic acid radicals may be used as the catalyst. Various alkali silicates that will react with the halide in allyl halide such as alkali metal silicates, and alkaline earth metal silicates including sodium silicate, potassium silicate, lithium silicate, calcium silicate, cadmium silicate, barium silicate, zinc silicate, barium silicate, magnesium silicate, aluminum silicate, etc. may be used as the catalyst.

Silica may be heated in a dilute aqueous alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, in the ratio of about 1 to 1 mols, until the water evaporates thereby producing a mono alkali metal silicate which may be used as the catalyst in this invention. Hydrated silica is the preferred catalyst and is preferred to be in a fine granular form. The silicoformic acid may be produced by the methods outlined in U.S. Pat. No. 3,674,430. Hydrated silica may be produced by any of the commonly known methods.

Some of the natural occuring silicates that may be used in this invention are clay, kaolin, silica, talc, asbestos, natrolite, garnet, mica, feldspar, beryl etc. and mixtures thereof.

The natural occuring silicates may be treated with a dilute mineral acid to produce more active silicic acid radicals present in the silicates.

Allyl halides may be produced by the addition of a halide to propylene. Methallyl halides may be produced by the addition of a halide to isobutylene. Other compounds with the combination --c═c--c--, which is known as the allylic system, may be used in this invention. Allyl chloride is the preferred allyl halide.

Various mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide with the essential grouping of atoms which may be represented as ##STR1## wherein R is a hydrogen or a C₁ to C₄ alkyl group wherein X represents a halogen atom. Furthermore, these compounds contain only one olefinic group of which one of the unsaturated carbon atoms contains at least one hydrogen atom per molecule.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

I have discovered that an amine and a mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide compound will polymerize in the presence of a fine granular silica, silicon acid, alkali metal silicate, alkaline earth metal silicate and natural occuring silicates containing silicic acid radicals to produce a poly(amine allyl chloride) polymer.

The chemical reactions of this invention may take place under any suitable physical conditions. While many of the reactions will take place acceptably at ambient temperature and pressure, in some cases, better results may be obtained at somewhat elevated temperature and pressure. Preferably the reaction takes place at a temperature between 0° and 100° C. in a closed system. The reaction time to produce poly(amine allyl halide) polymers is quite varied. At ambient temperature about 70% to 90% of the reactants are polymerized in about 1 to 12 hours. The poly(amine allyl chloride) copolymer will form emulsions in water and most are water soluble.

The mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide compound will react chemically with an amine to produce a mono-olifinic allyl type mono-halide amine compound. This compound will react chemically with aldehydes, ketone, organic dicarboxyl acids, organic dicarboxyl anhydrides, organic dihalide compounds, epoxy compounds and resins, epihahydrin, halohydrins isocyanates, furan compounds, thiocyanates, polysulfides, carbon disulfides, sodium sulfides, silicon acids, silicon tetrachloride, polyester resins with 2 or more active carboxyl acid radicals per molecule, aliphatic trihalides, organic cyanides, phenoplasts, aminoplasts, and mixtures thereof.

Various polyfunctional halohydrins may be used as a cross-linking agent such as alpha-dichlorohydrin, dibromhydrin, di-iodohydrin, epichlorohydrin, epibromhydrin, and mixtures thereof. They may be reacted chemically with the mono-olefinic allyl type allyl mono-halide amine compound and poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine) copolymer. When an acid catalyst is used, a thermosetting copolymer is produced, and when an alkali catalyst is used, a thermosetting copolymer is produced. In certain cases where a large amount of the allyl halide is used, it may be thermoplastic.

Various alkali catalysts and reactants may be used in this invention such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate sodium oxide, potassium oxide, calcium hydroxide, sodium polysulfide, potassium silicate and mixtures thereof.

Various acid catalysts may be used in this invention such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, sodium hydrogen sulfate, potassium hydrogen sulfate, acetic acid, phosphoric acid, benzoic acid, acetic acid and mixtures thereof.

The preferred method to produce mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide reaction products is to mix an organic amine compound or polymer containing active amine radicals with a mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide compound, in the ratio of 0.5 to 2 mols of the allyl halide to 1 mol of the amine while agitating at a temperature between ambient temperature and the boiling temperature of the mixture, and at ambient pressure for 10 to 60 minutes, thereby producing a mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine reaction product.

The mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine may be reacted chemically with a cross-linking agent to produce a copolymer. The copolymer, when produced with an acid catalyst, is a thermosetting copolymer, and when an alkali catalyst is used, a thermosetting polymer is produced, as a general rule. The preferred cross-linking agent is an epihalohydrin, epichlorohydrin.

The mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine reaction product may be further polymerized by mixing it with an oxidized silicon catalyst then by agitating for 10 to 60 minutes, thereby producing a poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine) copolymer.

The preferred method to produce poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine) copolymers is to mix 1 mol of an amine, 0.5 to 6 mols of a mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide with an oxidated silicon compound in the ratio of about 0.25 to 1 part by weight of the oxidated silicon compound per 1 part by weight of the allyl halide and amine compounds. The mixture is then agitated for 10 to 60 minutes thereby producing poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine) copolymer. The copolymers in general are water soluble and may be filtered from the oxidated silicon catalyst.

An alternate method to produce poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine) copolymers is to mix 2 to 3 parts by weight of allyl halide with 1 part by weight of a fine granular oxidated silicon compound then to agitate for 10 to 60 minutes thereby producing a poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide) polymer. An amine is then mixed with the polymer in the ratio of 1 mol of the amine per 0.5 to 6 mols of the allyl halide while agitating for 10 to 60 minutes at ambient pressure and from ambient temperature to a temperature just below the boiling temperature of the mixture thereby producing poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine) co-polymer.

The poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine) copolymer may be reacted chemically with cross-linking agents to produce thermoplastic and thermosetting resins. When an acid catalyst is used with the cross-linking agent, usually a thermosetting resinous product is produced. When an alkali catalyst is used with the cross-linking agent, usually a thermosetting resin is produced. Epichlorohydrin is the preferred cross-linking agent.

The preferred method to produce a poly(allyl halide amine silicate) copolymer is to mix an alkali catalyst such as alkali metal sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and sodium silicate in about the amount of 1 mol per 2 to 6 mols of the allyl halide. The alkali catalyst is added in the first step of the preferred and alternate method of producing poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine) copolymer, as outlined in this invention, thereby producing a poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine silicate) copolymer.

The poly(allyl halide amine silicate) polymer may be reacted chemically with a cross-linking agent to produce thermoplastic and thermosetting resins. The preferred cross-linking agent is an epichlorohydrin.

The mixture of poly(mono-olefinic allyl type mono-halide amine) and oxidated silicon compounds may be reacted with a cross-linking agent such as epihalohydrin, halohydrins, epoxy compound or an epoxy resin with free epoxy groups, in the ratio of 1 mol of the cross-linking agent per mol of the oxidated silicon compound, by slowly adding the cross-linking agent while agitating at ambient temperature to about 70° C., thereby producing thermoplastic and thermosetting poly(allyl amine silicate) resins. When an acid catalyst is used, a thermosetting resin is usually produced, and when an alkali catalyst is used a thermosetting resin is usually produced. The resin is cured by heating to 80° to 120° C. for a few minutes, 10 to 60 minutes.

The polyamine compounds may be reacted chemically with the oxidized silicon compounds then reacted chemically with the mono-olefinic allyl mono-halide compounds to produce poly(allyl halide amine silicate) copolymer. The polyamine compounds may be reacted chemically with oxidated silicon compounds such as silica, hydrated silica and silicoformic acid by mixing the polyamine compound with the oxidated silicon in the ratio of 2 mols of the amine to 1 to 4 mols of the oxidated silicon; then mixing in an alkali catalyst, selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide in the amount of 1% to 10% by weight, percentage based on the weight of the oxidated silicate; then heating the mixture to just below the boiling temperature of the mixture while agitating at ambient pressure for 20 to 90 minutes, thereby producing an amine silicate. The method is further outlined in U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 842,557 filed Oct. 11, 1977 by David H. Blount.

The various allyl halide-amine-halohydrin water soluble reaction product and allyl halide-amine-silicate-halohydrin water soluble reaction products can be utilized as an adhesive, impregnant and water resistant coating agent in the production of paper products, by applying the water soluble reaction product to the cellulose or paper then heating to 80° to 120° C. until the water evaporates, thereby producing a thermosetting resin on the paper product. The various allyl halide-amine-halohydrin liquid resinous products and halide-amine-halohydrin silicate liquid resinous products may be poured into molds of useful objects such as gears, knobs, art objects, washers, toys, etc. then heated to 80° to 120° C., thereby producing a hard, tough, resinous product.

The primary object of the present invention is to produce allyl halide amine compounds and reaction products. Another object is to produce poly(allyl halide-amine) resinous products. Another object is to produce poly(allyl halide amine polyfunctional halohydrin) resinous products. Still another object is to produce poly(allyl halide amine polyfunctional halohydrin silicate) resinous products. A further object is to produce water soluble thermosetting resinous products.
